I'm thinkin I need one too..Its been -42 celcius here and the ol nitro just don't like it!!
 
Ya it looks pretty wild buy i dont think id ever buy an electric RC. I'm a nitro guy. If i dosent have a piston, i dont bother.
 
The Flux is badazz period! Even if it does sound like a toy car. HPI really raised the bar on that one.
 
I would try one if someone gave it to me for free. I would rather have brushless truggy.
But I still like combustion+loud noise. I like to tune an engine. I guess I am set in my ways.
 
Ya i find part of the fun is tinkering with motors and stuff like that. It kinda makes it like a real truck to me i guess. But ya, that new savage looks pretty crazy but i wouldent buy it.

I prefer trucks you can put 30' of air travel under their legs

Wow! Good memory! I actually forgot about it. I had made one for the front only last winter. It held up great all summer long. Haven't busted a chassis rail since I installed it. Would be nice to have a full pan though ;)

It took me a long time to build mine with my limited access to tools.

Lol...

I just can't see an electric MT taking the abuse. The E-savage was a flop and the E Maxx was not much better.. Seen both run and they did not impress me.

If it could..I would be impressed but not enough to ditch my LST's
 
The flux is a true Savage. The E-Savage was just a rebadged Hotbodies truck, the E-Zilla or something like that. The Flux shares nothing with the E-Savage, two totally different rigs. I'd be willing to bet it will take the same abuse as a nitro.
 
I saw the E-savage at LHS, looked like JUNK and I could put death to many parts very fast. Emaxx 3905 still have the same Failing Suspension Setup.

We'll see what happens... I really just want something for winter because I DO NOT want to drive my nitro's in the snow.
